One Good Thing

De: Kacey Shea

Narrado por: Tim Paige, Lessa Lamb

"I have nothing to offer a woman like Cora. Not what she deserves, yet...I want her anyway."

I never expected to meet the woman of my dreams in a coffee shop. Especially when she's a famous Hollywood actress and I'm nothing but an overworked, underpaid barista.

Only I already have someone special - my son. Providing for him and getting through college are my top priorities. Dating while juggling single fatherhood isn't.

Cora Bentley deserves a partner who can offer her the world. But the heart wants what it wants, and mine won't stop beating for hers.

I should walk away. It's what's best, even if she won't admit it. But I can't bring myself to do so. Not when she's everything I could ever want.

Not when she could be our one good thing.

One Good Thing is a single-dad opposites-attract stand-alone contemporary romance narrated by Tim Paige and Lessa Lamb.

Emotional and Beautiful!

Wow! This story is beautifully written. The storyline is emotional and romantic. Cora and Isaac are beautiful characters. They share an instant attraction, and an undeniable chemistry. Cora is independent, strong, supportive, caring, and determined. Isaac, a single Dad, is handsome, and caring. They are opposite attracts, but they are perfect together. I love the ending. Tim Paige and Tessa Lamb did a great job with the narration. This story has characters interconnected with the Off Track Records Series. I enjoyed it.

I loved this story

Tim Paige really made this for me! Kacey Shea has written a great story and his narration was perfect......he brings out all the feels. Lessa is good, too; but her narration, especially in the beginning, felt really slow to me so I sped it up a bit and that made it work. This is one of my favorites this year.

4.5 Stars - Watch your heartstrings

We met Cora back in the land of my favorite rock gods, 3UGs. As the ex of their lead singer, you’d think she was hated, but no. She’s a great person, and I was hoping she’d get her own story. Kacey Shea did not disappoint. This story sucks you in, takes your heart for a ride, and leaves you happy you read/listened to it. I was warned it was gonna cause some tears, and they weren’t lying...dang it. I hate crying! Although, I’ll allow it....this time. I loved Isaac and Cora together, and with Isaac’s son. There area mix of emotions with this story.

Tessa Lamb and Tim Paige did a great job bringing the characters to life. I enjoyed Tessa in Detour, and again, here, giving voice to Cora one more time.

Great Story!

I enjoyed this story this couples journey to happiness ❤️
A beautiful love story between two established people. Issac and Cora are older and at a better place in their lives than most romance couples,

Tim Paige and Lessa Lamb brought it to life wonderfully.

Really Good

Really great story with all the feels. Wholesome and steamy.
Enjoyed the narration on both parts.

Cora finally gets her chance at true love.........

One Good Thing is a standalone novel, but it focuses on a secondary character from her 3 Ugly Guys Series, Cora Bentley. I fell in love with Cora and her kindness and accepting personality in Detour. Although she is a famous movie star with a bubbly, outgoing personality, she always seemed a little lonely to me in previous books. In One Good Thing, she meets a single father struggling to work, put himself through college, and take care of a special needs toddler. These two couldn't be from more opposite ends of the spectrum, but they are each other's complete match. Isaac doesn't believe that he can be what Cora needs in a partner and lover because he is so entrenched in survival mode, but Cora brings lightness and support to his dull world.

The title of the book perfectly explains the story: Isaac believing that he only deserves one good thing in his life - his son - and Cora convincing him that he deserves nothing but good things. However, their relationship is not one-sided. Isaac brings Cora comfort, support, normalcy, and heartfelt love. He is the one person in her life besides her family that truly wants her for the amazing person she is inside rather than her fame, success, and fortune. With her usual talent and grace, Shea tackles the sensitive subject of Autism and special needs, and I wanted to wrap Isaac and his son in a warm hug throughout the story. I see the potential for future books in a series with Isaac's siblings, so I am hoping that we have not seen the last of this amazing couple.

The book is told in the alternating points of view style, and Tim Paige and Lessa Lamb are the perfect choice for Isaac and Cora. I am very familiar with Tim Paige from other romance series, and he is a talented voice actor. I am not as familiar with Lessa Lamb, but she is equally skilled in the romance genre. They both deliver a flawless performance, and I could feel the chemistry between them as the story progressed.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request in exchange for this honest review.

One Good Thing

Cora and Isaac! Love their sweet story, loved how real it felt. This was just a great honest to goodness romance, full of normal real life issues, very believable.

This was my first audiobook narrated by Tim Paige and I was not disappointed- he did a terrific job bringing Isaac to life. Both Lessa Lamb and Tim Page gave a performance full of emotion, nice range of character voices for both narrators.

Won my heart!

Listening to Issac and Cora’s love story was perfection!!! I loved knowing Cora, from 3UG’s stories, got her own happy ending with love! Plus hearing a cameo from Trent elicited my own squeal!

Tim Paige was absolutely amazing in Isaac’s fatherly love for his misunderstood son and Lessa Lamv, already one of my faves, captured Cora’s intense sweetness perfectly ❤️

Full of surprises and excitement!

I was so excited to dig into this one! Cora has been a character that I have followed from the first 3UG book. I hated her then liked her now and As the stories went on I grew to respect her. She might be a Hollywood actress but in some way you would never guess it. I like how she is depicted in here. We really get to know more about her and her want of a guy just for her.

Enter the coffee serving, college going single....dad? That is a surprise but he is busy busy busy and doesn’t know if he has time for anyone. I loved that he didn’t become star struck. He treated Cora like a regular person. Seeing these two come together is magic. I enjoyed his son and the stress, wonderment and difficulty surrounding him.

Overall it’s not what I expected for Cora which makes it surprising and exciting. I did listen to this on audio. Tim Paige who is a new narrator to me did wonderful and Leesa Lamb did a great job as usual.

Beautiful story & unique characters

I loved listening to this book, narrated by Lessa Lamb and Tim Paige. Tim Paige tapped into all the emotions of Issac’s character beautifully and Lessa Lamb’s sweet, tender voice was perfect as well. These narrators blended well together and delivered a flawless narration. So well done.

This is simply a beautiful story. Cora and Issac were perfect together. I loved their connection, chemistry and easy banter.

Issac is single dad to 3 year old David. David is non verbal and is Issac’s whole world. He missed the first year of his life and is struggling with the guilt he feels even though it was not his fault as the mother kept him from Issac. Cora is an older woman, and successful actress.

I loved the uniqueness of their relationship. Cora did not care at all that on the surface she and Issac were from different worlds. She is patient and passionate with David and so excepting of him. There were some battles to overcome but together they are a strong couple and I loved how they challenged and pushed each other.

Most definitely worth a credit IMO!
